A New York woman is thriving after receiving the first trachea transplant

Woman thriving after first-of-its-kind transplant 01:33 (CNN)After years of struggling to breathe and fearing she might suffocate in her sleep, Sonia Sein says she feels well enough to dance around with her grandchildren after undergoing the first-ever human trachea transplant at Mount Sinai in New York. For me, it felt like right after, I was able to breathe. When I took that first breath it was heaven, said Sein, who had the life-changing surgery in January. The 56-year-old former social worker s trachea was damaged in 2014 when she had to go on a ventilator because of a bad asthma attack. Sein went through multiple surgeries in hopes of correcting the problem, but that caused even more damage to her airway. She breathed through a surgically created hole in her neck called a tracheostomy and had a long tube that ran down to her lungs.

Experts say it’s too soon to deem Sein s transplant a total success which UNOS said is the first of its kind in the U.S. Sein has to take powerful drugs to prevent organ rejection, but doctors hope to try to wean her off in a few years. Less than three months after the operation, there haven t been complications or signs of rejection. “If it was going to be a failure, we would know by now. It’s quite promising,” said Dr. Alec Patterson, a transplant surgeon at Washington University in St. Louis who was not involved in the operation. It’s a major step forward.”

While experts say it is too early to deem the transplant a success, only three months following her operation, Sein has had no complications, but she needs to take anti-rejection drugs for the foreseeable future to ensure her body doesn’t reject the donor organ.  Though the trachea is seen as a small tube that allows air to flow into the lungs, doctors have said the act of transplanting a donor trachea to the recipient’s blood supply is complex and difficult.  “It is just technically extremely difficult,” David Klassen, chief medical officer for the United Network for Organ Sharing, or Unos, which manages the transplant system in the United States, told The Guardian. “It’s been a very difficult thing to crack.”
